Whether it is a direct sale, auction, or participation in gladiatorial fights, slave owners will pay a considerable market lease fee to the master according to regulations.
If a slave sale was successful, the slave owner would pay 30% of the slave's price to the master. If the slave was lucky enough to participate in a gladiatorial fight, he would receive 30% of the ticket price. If the slave won, he would also receive 20% of the gambling profits.
Therefore, almost all slave owners were willing to let their slaves participate in this brutal fight in order to gain more benefits.
The size of this arena was similar to that of a modern stadium, with private rooms set up in the center of each side. Led by the attendant, Murong Xiao arrived at a private room within the arena that offered an excellent vantage point for viewing the action.
After sitting down, someone immediately served Murong Xiao the best Longjing tea and exquisite dim sum.
The fight was about to begin, and the attendant tactfully closed the door first, allowing Murong Xiao to watch from the private room.
Soon, the whole audience was in an uproar, and shouts echoed throughout the venue.
Forty slaves were released from the southeast, northeast, southwest, and northwest in groups of ten. They ranged from the young and strong to the weak and the old. They included both men and women.
When all the slaves were released, they held a dagger in their hands and looked around with fear in their eyes.

Even the strong men, judging by how they mercilessly pushed the women out of the crowd and tried to squeeze in themselves, could only be described as strong and fit for hard labor. They were completely different from the people she wanted.
Suddenly, two big men were pushed to the ground. Murong Xiao looked and saw that a man had pushed the two big men down in order to protect a boy next to him who was shorter and thinner than him.
After being pushed to the ground, the two big men were obviously very angry and stood up to fight with the man. At this moment, the gongs and drums sounded.
The two big men turned around immediately and looked around in horror.
At this moment, everyone had huddled in a corner, their eyes filled with extreme fear. Only the man who had just pushed the two men to the ground, although he also had a look of fear in his eyes, was now more focused on carefully observing the surrounding terrain.
"Ao~" An extremely irritable tiger roar was heard, and many slaves began to tremble with fear.
"Sir, today's fight pits two adult tigers against 40 slaves. As long as one person or tiger survives, the fight is won. Sir, would you like to place a bet?"
"What are the odds?"
"If a tiger wins, it's one to one. If a slave wins, it's three to one."
"One hundred thousand taels, the slave wins."
The man was startled, but then he was overjoyed. He obviously didn't expect this sponsor to be so rich, not only rich, but also smart.
